Hey hey, this is the latest song, inheriting from many genres, a little pop, funk, something Arabesque, something Tropical and something Asian (Japanese): https://youtu.be/1R3ROM1zI_4 OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bqgwpsrpi36s39/papaya.ogg (Lyrics at the end of this message) Instruments: Yoshimi (choir pad, bell, e-piano and clave), drumgizmo (with the Aasmonster2 kit), LinuxSampler (AVL Tabla, bass, Mellotron strings, guitars), Csound (guiro and FX cymbals). In hardware: Waldorf Microwave Xt (electronic bass), Behringer Neutron (brass lead and hard kick), RD-8 (808 drums/percussion). I think that's it. Thaks to autotalent for supporting my mediocre efforts in the verses. :) This song for once tells two small stories/episodes. It's about realising what is there and making the best of it. Best wishes, Jeanette *** Lyrics *** On a rainy day, She ducks into a bookstore. Out of courtesy She buys a book on Ewe folklore. Next thing you know She's gonna go And learn the lingo. Not practical, but logical (who cares) She's on sabbatical. Eight years later she's mistress of the kidi She's found her home in the band. - Give that girl a big banana, 'Cause she sees what's in front of her eyes. If she sees a ripe papaya, She'll make her catch fresh from the skies. Tamsyn's heart is broken, All relationships just die. Even sweet and lovely Daniel Couldn't make her bounce and fly. She still went to that club tonight To dance the pain away. And there she found that smile so bright, Now Lisa's here to stay. - Give that girl a big banana, 'Cause she sees what's in front of her eyes. If she sees a ripe papaya, She'll make her catch fresh from the skies. *** END *** -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c Say hello to the girl that I am! <3 (Britney Spears)

Re: [LAU] [Music] Synthetic Air on a B-Thing

Every synth player should have a go at some 'Switched on'. If only to discover that it's not as easy as it may sound. At least not if you want something approaching the quality of Wendy Carlos' work. Been there myself... IMHO for this piece, sliding the upward larger intervals results in something that sounds overly sentimental, and that really kills the serenity the 'Air' normally has.

[Music] Easy

by Holger Dehnhardt

Hi, as a long time silent reader of this list, I have often enjoyed listening to the music you keep posting here. However, I didn't have anything to contribute until now. That has now changed and I have released my first album on Bandcamp: https://holgerdehnhardt.bandcamp.com/releases It's ten simple songs - except one with vocals in english (or something like that;-) or german. Of course it is produced exclusively under Linux - but not only with open source software. The album is - except for my voice of course - completely made in the box, all sounds (Zynaddsubfx, Odin, Geonkick, Diva) are self-made, I wanted to do that for 'practice reasons'. I hope you like one or the other song Holger

[Music] Synthetic Air on a B-Thing

by Christopher Arndt

Hello Music and Synth lovers, every Synth Nerd has to do a "Switched-on" track at least once, I guess. Since my sister married recently again, this was the perfect opportunity for me to see what I could do with just one monophonic analog synthesizer module from Behringer for my interpretation of Bach's famous "Air" from BWV 1068. Listen to or download the track from my Nextcloud instance: * https://0x20.eu/nc/s/NjC7W9xp5Sk94Jj (FLAC) * https://0x20.eu/nc/s/xEdXajYS5EBaDNW (Ogg Vorbis) Listen on or download from Soundcloud: *https://soundcloud.com/spotlightkid/synthetic-air-on-a-b-thing (to download, click on "More" under the comment entry field and select the download option) I recorded this with Ardour 6 on Manjaro Linux, track by track, first as MIDI and then replayed and recorded as audio, so I could ride the filter cutoff or other parameters during recording. Then I exported the stems of all audio tracks, re-imported them into a a new Ardour session and mixed it there, using a 4-band EQ, a compressor and several reverb sends on each track, chorus and low-/highpass filter on a few track, as well as a multi-band compressor and EQ on the master bus. Equipment used: - Behringer Pro-One - Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 Mk 1 - Tuxedo Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 - AKG K240 Headphones Software used: - Ardour 6 - ACE Compressor - Calf Multiband compressor - EQ4N EQ . Glame High-/Lowpass Filter - LSP Impulse Reverb Stereo - SamplicityM7 Impulse Response "Boston Hall A" - CAP PlateX2 Reverb - YK Chorus - x42-dpl Limiter Share & Enjoy Chris aka "Spotlight Kyd"

Alsa not finding soundcard

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, A friend of mine, who is mainly a Windows user and has limited knowledge of Linux, has two HP laptops running Archlinux. One of them works perfectly with an RME Octamic-XTC. The other doesn't seem to detect it as a sound card (it doesn't show up in aplay -l). On both the RME is recognised as an USB device (by lsusb). I'm trying to help him fix this (remotely). We compared kernel and alsa versions, they are the same. In fact the two Linux installations should be identical, both had a full update before I shipped to two laptops to him. What could be the problem on the second PC ? TIA, -- FA

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.29 - An Early-Autumn'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there, one third and last time, Qtractor 0.9.29 (early-autumn'22) is released! Change-log:: - Capture same time(stamp) note-off tracking and postponing is now on trial, hopefully mitigating a legato issue, reported to MIDI wind instruments (EWI). (EXPERIMENTAL) - Fixed an old window parenting (aka z-level) issue, related to the Add Track and Track Properties dialogs and whether called from the main or mixer menus. - Fixed the out-of-process plugin scanner terminating too soon and sometimes miss some very last results. - Fixed another old bug in MIDI note-off messages not being sent while playing after a loop region. - Fixed a pretty ancient bug in the VST(2.x) plug-in program names inventory, present when building to the VeSTige header (which is still the default). Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAA] XUiDesigner v0.8 released

by Hermann Meyer

XUiDesigner v0.8 released A easy to use tool to generator/design X11 based LV2 Plugin Bundles. Beside that XUiDesigner allow to generate and install GUI's for existing LV2 plugins (so far only Reaper fail to load extra UI's), it support as well to generate LV2 plugins from scratch. Special support is implemented for FAUST dsp files, which allow you to generate a LV2 plugin with X11 based UI by just drag'n'drop a FAUST dsp file into the XUiDesigner interface. This works now as well for MIDI capable faust modules. In any way, you don't need to interference with any of the annoying LV2 implementations. XUiDesigner handle that all for you. The very same is true when you like to implement your own dsp (C++) into a LV2 plugin. Example files for how to create a c++ file for parsing (drag n' drop) with XUiDesigner been included. For later rework the UI a json file will be created which you could drop later on XUiDesigner to load and rework the UI. This may also be usable by other toolkits to create a UI? This release comes with a couple of Bug-fixes and aims to be nearly stable. Here is a introduction Wiki <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/wiki/XUiDesigner> entry to show the first steps. Note: Please download the attached XUIDesigner_0.8.tar.gz <https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.8/XUIDesigner…> archive, as only that contain the needed git submodule ( old long time knowing bug on github) as the other files wont be able to build XUiDesigner for you. New in this release: Implement Virtual Midi Keyboard Widget Fix segfault under Wayland Fix several Bugs Implement proper *.cc file parser Add examples for *cc file parsing Project page: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner Download Release: https://github.com/brummer10/XUiDesigner/releases/download/v0.8/XUIDesigner… Enjoy anyway.
